Jotul F 370 Operating Instructions

To light a fire in the Jotul F 370, start by opening the air vents fully. Place crumpled newspaper or fire starters on the grate, then add small kindling in a criss-cross pattern. Light the newspaper and gradually add larger logs as the fire establishes itself.
Excess smoke can be caused by damp wood, insufficient air supply, or a blocked chimney. Ensure you're using dry, seasoned wood, check that the air vents are open, and inspect the chimney for blockages.
The glass should be cleaned as needed, typically once a week, depending on usage. Use a stove glass cleaner and a soft cloth to avoid scratches.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the flue and chimney annually, checking and replacing gaskets as needed, and ensuring the air vents are functioning properly.
To improve efficiency, use well-seasoned wood, maintain a hot fire, and ensure that the stove and chimney are clean and free of obstructions.
If the stove is not heating properly, check for air leaks around the door, ensure the wood is dry and seasoned, and make sure the chimney is not obstructed.
Replace the gasket by removing the old one, cleaning the groove, and fitting a new gasket with high-temperature adhesive. Ensure it's the correct size for an effective seal.
No, the Jotul F 370 is designed for burning wood only. Burning coal can damage the stove and void the warranty.
The recommended log size for the Jotul F 370 is 30 cm (approximately 12 inches) in length for optimal burning and efficiency.
Unusual noises may be due to metal expansion or contraction. Ensure that the stove is installed correctly and that there are no loose parts. If the noise persists, consult a professional.
